Publication of papers

There will be several possibilities for publishing papers:

1. In the Proceedings of the ICOTOM-20 Conference there will be no fee for the publication. All accepted papers will be published in Diamond Open Access. DOI numbers will be allocated to the papers for tracking your paper in the citation systems.
The title of the proceedings will be: Advances in Textures and Microstructures of Materials. The suitability of the papers will be verified by a review process. Editor: Laszlo S. Toth.

Use the WORD template for editing your manuscript. Suggested length: 10 pages. For uploading your space, go to "My submissions" and choose "full paper". Deadline for submission is end of August 2024, but earlier submissions will be highly appreciated to arrange for Referees and to accelerate the publishing of the Proceedings.

2. Selected papers can be published in the international journal Materials Characterization (MATCAR), where a Special Issue will be created for regular papers. The Editors of the Special Issue will examine first the suitability of the proposed papers for publication in the Special Issue. Then all selected papers will go through the journal's regular peer review process. Only papers that meet the requirements of MATCAR will be proposed into the Special Issue. Editors of the Special Issue: Lionel Germain, Nathalie Gey, Benoit Beausir, Laszlo S. Toth.

3. The Organizers of Symposia can arrange the publication of selected papers of their symposium in special issues of international journals. More information will be given later.
